Version Compatibility in Managed Workflow Maintaining alignment between the Expo SDK and the underlying react-native version is critical for stability in the Managed Workflow. When these versions diverge from the documented compatibility matrix, the application may encounter unpredictable runtime crashes during the execution of native modules. Environment Co
Context Expo’s managed workflow restricts direct native code edits, meaning platform‑specific accessibility APIs are only available via config plugins or a pre‑build. Expo Go runs a fixed native shell, so custom accessibility behavior that depends on native changes cannot be reliably tested inside Expo Go. In contrast, a development build reflects the app’s
